Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

The army of the Eastern Expedition became the best labor force, making Luoyang City no longer look like a lush green grass.

The soldiers who came here from Guanzhong built military buildings here, restored canals, and smoothed the roads.

And when the Guanzhong Army began to mobilize towards the three passes of Yique, Taigu, and Shenyuan south of Luoyang, the people of Luoyang who had survived more than 20 years of war and hardship also found a new home.

Of course, the prerequisite for being able to live in these houses is to be able to obey the dispatch of the Luoyang government and use workers and peasants to pay for the housing.

It was not just the sergeants who came here from Guanzhong. After it was determined that all eight passes were secured, a steady stream of craftsmen, agricultural officials and merchants came here.

Relatively elementary workshops have sprung up, and schools teaching farming techniques have begun. Ditches and roads outside the city also need to be cleared, and farmland needs to be reclaimed in advance to prepare for the coming year.

With hundreds of wastes waiting to be revitalized, the people of Luoyang were absorbed into the reconstruction of Luoyang as if they were trickling into the river and the sea.

People in Luoyang also felt novel when looking at the official market.

Seeing several locals holding the money in their arms and carefully looking at the market for a long time, and finally carefully going in to select the goods, Lu Su sighed:

"It's so hard for people to make money, but it's so pity to use it."

Fazheng disagreed, his expression somewhat heavy:

"It's not necessarily a matter of sparing money."

"It has been twenty-four years since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang."

"These people are only thirty years old. I'm afraid they don't know what Fangshi is."

For Fazheng, Dong Zhuo brought violent troops and refugees into Guanzhong, which was the beginning of the chaos.

Since then, Guanzhong's situation has been deteriorating, and a few years later he went to Shu to escape the chaos.

When he returned to his hometown last year, although his local pronunciation had not changed, the children did not recognize each other. However, the scenery when he asked where he came from was somewhat similar to the desolate feeling of the young people in Luoyang who did not know the prosperity of the Luoyang capital in the past.

Lu Su was dumbfounded. This was an angle he had never considered before.

However, Fazheng is not entangled in this. Through the hands of Xuande Gong, the prosperity of Luoyang Capital in the future will definitely be better than in the past, just like he can return to Fufeng in fine clothes, he firmly believes.

"Now that Yide and Xuande's troops are heading south in two directions, Luoyang's safety is only in danger at the three passes of the Yellow River."

Seeing Fazheng getting down to business, Lu Su gathered his mood and quickly followed.

Among the eight passes in Luoyang, apart from Hangu Pass in the west, which connects the central pass, Xiaopingjin, Mengjin and Hulao Pass in the north are all in danger based on the Yellow River.

Among the four passes in the south, Yique Pass was captured by Yide early, and Taigu Pass and Sheyuan Pass were also taken over one after another.

But now that all the troops have been mobilized, the remaining Guangcheng Pass has also been defeated. The two men are stationed in Luoyang under the orders of the Lord. The next thing to consider is naturally the fierce battle between the three passes in the north and Cao's Hebei Army.

Lu Su pondered for a moment and said:

"Huo Zhongmiao is a talented man who defends the city. It is amazing that he can take care of Xiaopingjin and Mengjing Pass at the same time. It is difficult for a strong man to rescue Hulao Pass, which is a hundred and fifty miles away."

"In July, Jiangling giant crossbows were sent to Hulao Pass for placement, and in August, Chen Shi sent Han artillery to assist the defense..."

Thinking of the long name of the cannon, the corner of Fazheng's mouth twitched, but Lu Su was still a little worried:

"The artillery is certainly powerful, but our casting skills are far inferior to those of later generations."

This is true, Fazheng nodded and admitted that nowadays, a Han cannon can hardly be bombarded more than twice. If it fires rapidly or uses special gunpowder, I am afraid that the chamber will explode after two cannons, but Lu Su said this...

"Zijing wants to garrison Hulao Pass?"

Lu Su nodded generously and explained:

"Now that things in Luoyang are on the right track, Xiaozhi can shoulder the responsibility alone."

"Hulao Pass faces Xingyang and relies on Luoyang. Xingyang is the only way for Cao's thieves to escape north."

The two parties have had this tacit understanding since they have been working together for a year. Fazheng thought about it and did not hesitate:

"In that case, Na Zijing will bring another Shenwei cannon, and he will also bring all the newly made bamboo hand cannons."

"Don't these need to be sent to Xuande Gong?" There was obvious hesitation in Lu Su's words.

So Fazheng sighed:

"Even if there is no support from Yi De, it is probably not difficult for Xuande Gong alone to defeat Xudu all the way and then go north to Yecheng."

Liu Bei, who was being cared about by Fazheng, was in a good mood at the moment:

"Now who says I can't lead an army?"

Kong Ming and Pang Tong, who were beside Liu Bei, looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

In this expedition to Cao Cao, the group led by Xuande Gong was undoubtedly the main force.

Almost at the same time that Zhang Fei's troops came out of Yique Pass and conquered Guangcheng Pass, the soldiers along Ru Shui were pointing at Xiangcheng, Jiaxian County.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang Pang Tongchen arrived. Almost at the same time, the 30,000-strong army marched out of Taigu Pass and Sheyuan Pass, went straight down the Ying River to capture Yangzhai, and pointed directly at Xuchang.

"This is Yingchuan!"

After forcibly proving that he could lead an army, Liu Bei, who was walking down the river, sighed inexplicably when he saw the scene in front of him.

Later generations call the time when he was established at this time the late Han Dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, almost all the scholars came from the three counties of Nanyang, Yingchuan and Runan, and they were the leaders of the world.

He had always envied Xun Chen and Sima Zhong for his help behind Thief Cao, but now that he recalled those tangled emotions at the time, he could only smile.

Without the support of these famous people, he still set foot here.

And next, it can be expected that these famous people will be like pheasants cautiously poking their heads out of the bushes, exploring his preferences and clinging to them, and checking their relatives and friends to cling to them. Until then...

"What is Mr. Xuande thinking?"

Liu Bei remained silent for too long, which aroused Pang Tong's curiosity.

"Shiyuan, you said..."

Riding on the specially selected Dilu horse, Liu Bei pointed to the distance with the whip in his hand and said:

"Did they make the Han Dynasty prosperous, or did the Han Dynasty raise them?"

But Liu Bei laughed after asking this question:

"How can there be any answer to such a question?"

"Speed ​​up the march, we must first break Yingyang today, so as to say hello to...Emperor Wu of Wei."

After personally arriving here and with the help of the map, Liu Bei understood more deeply that Cao Cao had considered for a long time before choosing Xuchang to welcome the emperor.

Xuchang is located in Yingchuan County, and several rivers originate from the northwest of Funiu Mountain, Xiong'er Mountain, and Daying Mountain, and flow to the southeast.

In addition to the Yingshui River in front of us, there are also several rivers such as Ru, Fei, Li, Wei, Wei, and Si, which have become the basis for the layers of defense.

If his army had not left Luoyang, Yunchang would have needed to cross four rivers from Duyang to Xuchang before he could reach the city of Xuchang.

Although he was taking a more clever approach and came straight from Luoyang, there was still the Qishui River between him and Meng De, so Liu Bei planned to take Yingyang first, which did not require crossing the river.

Although there were no fierce generals in the central army, whether it was the elite soldiers trained by Chen Shi for several years or Kong Ming's leisurely dispatching with the assistance of Pang Tong, the capture of Yingyang seemed to be easy, and Liu Bei nodded repeatedly.

I lead the military advisor, and the military advisor leads thousands of troops. Who said he can't lead the army?

And Yingyang is only a hundred miles away from Xudu. I think Meng De already knows that he is coming.
